    Buy a rebuilt distributor. The gears are quite expensive and have to be pressed off and on to the correct position. Since its difficult to get the hole for the roll pin lined up with the hole in the shaft, a new hole is usually drilled thru the shaft. Its not much more expensive and a lot less hassle to buy a rebuilt dist.

    Bingo! It's a TFI distributor which only works if you're running EFI.
